Building a community

2012/08/22 Written by Social Networks

2012/06/16 Written by Facebook Says

Equal Protection

2011/05/28 Written by Biography , Social Networks

  MENLO PARK, CA, 28 May – It’s heartbreaking to realize that Facebook can be so inclusive to one oppressed minority as the above LGBTQ “It Gets Better” video clearly demonstrates, even as, one week ago, Facebook committed avatar genocide. “Avatar Genocide”?? I get it. Words like “Genocide” and “Slavery” are enormously powerful words that [...]

2009/10/05 Written by Free Culture

The 20th century was the age of mass media, a gigantic, top-down, few-to-many mode of transmitting information, of creating culture.
